Which cats should be tested for pancreatitis using fPLI? The fPLI test should be considered for the following: Cats with signs of illness consistent with pancreatitis (lethargy, poor appetite, weight loss, vomiting, etc.). Cats with liver and/or intestinal disease (which often accompanies pancreatitis in the cat).

Use the only pet-side test to measure feline pancreas-specific lipase levels. Assess the health of the pancreas in all cats presenting with nonspecific signs of illness. SNAP tests provide reference laboratory quality technology for superior diagnostic accuracy at the point of care.

The feline pancreas is a small internal organ located in the cat’s abdomen between its right kidney and intestinal tract. Though the pancreas weighs only about six to eight ounces, it serves two very different functions vital to maintaining health.

fPLI of 111 cats with a clinical suspicion of pancreatitis was measured with both SNAP fPL and Spec fPL. Furthermore, clinical signs, haematological and biochemical changes, and abdominal ultrasound findings were recorded.

Bionote's Vcheck fPL test is used as a definitive diagnosis of Pancreatitis in cats, feline pancreas-specific lipase. Learn how you can diagnose your patients in-clinic with Vcheck.

The SNAP fPL Test has a high percentage of agreement with the reference laboratory Spec fPL Test, the most accurate test available for feline pancreatitis. The SNAP fPL Test provides an accurate, reliable, pet-side tool to help veterinarians quickly rule in or rule out pancreatitis.

Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, a gland which assists with the digestive process and controls the hormones which regulate blood sugar. CKD cats sometimes also have pancreatitis. To confuse matters, pancreatitis may sometimes cause elevated creatinine levels.

2018年9月18日 · fPL (feline pancreatic lipase) is a proprietary test for a pancreas-specific isoform of lipase that has shown to be sensitive for detection of moderate to severe pancreatitis. It is available as both a bedside ELISA test that returns a “normal” or “abnormal” result (SNAP fPL), and as a quantitative test (Spec fPL).

The SNAP fPL is a serum based, semi-quantitative, monoclonal antibody test that is reported by IDEXX laboratories to be optimized to match the performance of the Spec fPL test.

2020年11月4日 · The Snap fPL (idexx.com) is a semiquantitative point-of-care test that can help rule out pancreatitis. A value of > 3.5 mcg/L is considered positive; therefore, a positive result must be confirmed by a Spec fPL assay.
